Elastio, a leader in ransomware recovery assurance, has partnered with Magna5 to enhance the security and resilience of business-critical data. This collaboration strengthens Magna5’s Backup-as-a-Service offering, empowering customers with advanced ransomware detection and rapid recovery capabilities.

Ransomware attacks are increasing by 20% year-over-year, highlighting the urgent need for organizations to strengthen their defenses. Worse, many victims do not detect ransomware breaches for seven months, meaning that hidden ransomware can unknowingly be copied into backups, compromising recovery options.¹ Ensuring the integrity of backup data is now more critical than ever.

Through this partnership, Magna5 customers gain an additional layer of ransomware protection. Elastio Ransomware Recovery Assurance Platform (Elastio Platform) continuously inspects backup data for hidden ransomware, allowing businesses to identify threats before they execute and ensuring they always have a clean, uncompromised recovery point.

Elastio Platform's Unique Solution:

Key Features Include:

• Zero-Trust Approach with Agentless Architecture: Elastio Platform inspects data at rest, including backups, without relying on potentially compromised workloads. Its agentless design ensures seamless protection with no production impact.
• Zero-Day Ransomware Detection: Elastio Platform employs machine learning to detect zero-day ransomware, going beyond traditional signature—or anomaly-based scanning to identify threats that other solutions miss.
• Always Ready for Recovery: Elastio Platform ensures a last-known clean copy of data is always available, giving businesses confidence in fast, reliable recovery when it matters most.

Enhancing Magna5 Backup-as-a-Service:

Magna5’s Backup and Recovery Service already provides a robust solution for safeguarding business-critical data. By integrating Elastio Platform’s advanced ransomware detection and recovery assurance, Magna5 ensures:
